Annual kochia significantly impacts agricultural lands because of its high reproduction rate and ability to develop resistance to herbicides. Part of an integrated pest management (IPM) series, this colorfully illustrated bulletin helps homeowners and growers alike to identify annual kochia and to learn the IPM options available for its control. Ecological information and treatment recommendations further supplement the basic information shared about the pest’s description, biology (life cycle), the damage it inflicts, and management strategies.
